Hy-Pro Vacuum Dehydrators Improve Mill Reliability

 We Hy-Pro Vacuum Dehydrators already know that maintaining low levels of water in rolling mill lubricating oil can help improve uptime, extend oil life, prevent bearing failures and increase profitability. But, what about an actual example of how a vacuum dehydrator has improved mill reliability?

Oil Vacuum Dehydrators: Managing Water in Rolling Mill Lubricating Oil

By Aaron Hoeg on Fri, Aug. 31, 2012

In our last post, Improving Rolling Mill Oil with Vacuum Dehydration, we discussed how the demulsibility (ability of the oil to separate from water) of oil is an important characteristic that greatly influences the effectiveness of the lubricant and how a loss of demulsibility can result in poorly lubricated bearings, unplanned downtime and premature fluid replacement.

Improving Rolling Mill Lubricant Oil with Vacuum Dehydration

By Aaron Hoeg on Tue, Aug. 07, 2012

Benefits of Vacuum Dehydration for Rolling Mill Lubricant Oil

Steel mills typically use lubricants with high demulsibility for rolling mill back-up roller bearings and chocks since relatively high levels of water contaminate the oil from quenching and descaling processes. These rolling mill lubricant oils may be known as Morgoil as they are commonly used on Morgan rolling mill systems.
